Happy Birthday Thurman.
And happy April Fool's Day to the rest of y'all. Yr shoe's untied.
Aplolgies (as always) about the expiration of the yousendit files below. I'll try to get some more Miss Mary up in the near future. Bandwidth is back!
Haven't done any truck and train tunes lately...figgered once a week was getting a little excessive. You'll still get yr fix...it'll just be a surprise.
Kay Adams gets hardly a mention in the annals of country. Which is a shame, as she's got that great booming hard country voice that traces from the more extroverted Patsy Cline moments to Tammy Wynette to the formidable Neko Case. Her most famous song was "Little Pink Mack" (see below), from the essential Wheels and Tears, a concept album about truck driving from a woman's perspective, recorded in the mid-60's. After giving up on recording and public appearances for some time, she's resurfaced occasionally in recent years, even recording a new trucking song with the barroom honky bandits BR549. Hopefully with the resurgence of interest in "real" country(and western) music (whatever that is), Ms. Adams will reap some of the benefits, and get the recognition as the pioneering artist she was/is. No big rig fan's record collection should be without some Kay Adams.
